Hello,welcome to HCM. Yes methyldopa use in pregnancy where bp is high. In case of high bp there may be a chance of growth retardation, preterm delivery required if bp is not controled and high and cs may be needed in some cases. But you don't worried so much as your bp is not very high. Take care. If you have any query then you can contact me at my profile. Thanx.
